HC Deb 22 January 2003 vol 398 c399W 399W

§ Harry Cohen
To ask the Deputy Prime Minister for what reasons the City of London received the ceiling in the recently announced local authority grant settlement; and if he will make a statement. [91876]

§ Mr. Leslie
The City of London gained primarily from the "fixed costs" elements in the Education and EPCS blocks to reflect the diseconomies of scale faced by smaller authorities and the increased weighting for daytime visitors and commuters in the Highways and EPCS blocks.
